PLASTIC COMPOSITION.

To aZZ '10]: cm it may concern:

l' e it known that I, Josnrrr lViLLIAM TAY- Lon, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plastic Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to 'provide a novel composition o't matter which will be particularly Well adapted for use as a flooring, curbing, slabbing and the like, which composition may be readily laid down in its plastic state.

My improved plastic composition is prepared from the following materials, calcined magnesite, chlorid of magnesium, phosphorous acid, u'oodliour, olein, blowed linseed oil. and a suitable coloring: matter.

The plastic composition is prepared in the, following manner: A dry mixture is made of calcined magnesite 71 parts, woodllour E parts and coloring matter 9 parts. lhis dry mixture is then dampened with'a solution of chlorid of magnesium 31, (Baum hydrometer). to a degree sullieient to bring the dry mixture to a plastic state. To each two and one-half gallons of this chlorid of mag nesium solution, there is mixed one-half ounce oi the solution of "200 grains of the composition oi olein, hlowed linseed oil and pliosplmrous acid (1.700 specific gravity) diluted down with Water to (Baum hydrometer). This plastic composition is then ready to be laid down. In this plastic composition the \roodflour (finely pulverized sawdust) gives elasticity to the final product and also makes the same extremely light in weight and noiseless to a considerable extent. The olein and the blowod Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 31.1913.

Patented Dec. 1, 191%. Serial No. 757,895.

linseed oil makes the'linal product pliable, uhile the bloucd linseed oil also serves to hold the color and adds to the elasticity of the mass and assists in the proper amalgamation of the elements. lhe phosphorous acid also acts to cement the several elements of the mass.

The emnposition prepared fronr the'elcments above enumerated proportions set forth is very light, pliable and elastic and is extremely durable and presents a smooth wearing surface...

What I claim is:

l. A plastic composition prepared from the following materials: calcined magnesite, ehlorid of magnesium, phosphorous acid, \rooiltlour. olein, blowed linseed oil and a suitable coloring matter, combined in the proportions substantially asherein set forth.

2. The method of producing :11 plastic iornposition from calcined magnesite, chlorid' phosphorous acid, woodflour, olein. blowed linseed oil and av suitable coloring matter, consisting in dampening with ehlorid ol magnesium solution a dry mixture of ealrined magnesite, woodtiour and coloring matte and adding thereto a solution ol' 'tho composition of olein, blowed linseed oil and phosphorous acid, the several elements being in proportions substantially as herein set forth;

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention. I have signed my name in presex'iee of two Witnesses. this twenty-fifth day of March 1913.
